    Good luck dusty xx

    Lynne mine is by the kitchen door so easy to see behind, so I do it when it looks grotty enough to annoy me, lol. But mine has easy glide feet so it's not tricky, it literally slides out.

    My cooker, on the other hand... :eek:

    Well, an O M G moment, DD is in her own bed!!! Blimey!

    I was a bit bleurgh in the night but I have woke feeling heaps better - think I was a bit silly with food last night :( will I ever learn? I'll make up for it today - err until I go out for Chinese with friends tonight...

    Have a good day everyone!

    Oh thanks everyone - you've made me teary with your kindness. I couldn't say who the "family member" was until it was decided as I'm a bit superstitious -but knew I'd have your support whatever. Dusty probably guessed - his area was delayed by five more weeks because there were more changes needed so that's why it has taken so long.


    Will be thinking of you today Dusty.


    Got a full day in the museum today so will probably just have time for a double HHI - that didn't get done yesterday!!


    Have a good day everyone. x

    Morning all

    Thanks for our good luck wishes, fortunately I am not overly bothered if I get it or not, I wasn't looking for a job and I would just go back to plan a of starting to look in September.

    Cat bedding in the WM, need to hoover out their beds and remake next and then have a shower. Need to prepare a few questions for interview and just brush up on my excel skills.

  • Hi guys,

    No time to post last night but nothing done anyway:( So tired, I think there are a few others on here that are too. Have to work today too to make up some time I missed when the kids were ill last week. Good luck dusty, thanks for updated list bossy, hi to new people, hope everyone has a good day. I've decided to try the posting whole list method, with stuff that I've done deleted. See how tiny I can make it by the end of the week. Today it is massive.

    Morning all :wave:

    Welcome to more newbies
    Very pleased for your son, JTTOU
    Enjoy your interview, Dusty - you sound very relaxed about it, which is lovely!
    Lynne, I never pull out the FF in my kitchen as it is built in :rotfl: - and I've even got the space between the high cupboards and the ceiling filled in so that I don't have to clean up there ;) - and I never pull out the old freestanding one in the utility either as I simply would not be able to move it without wrecking my back or shoulders. I vacuum around it very occasionally and point the nozzle underneath once a year or three, but that's it. Visitors can't see under it any more than I can :rotfl:

    Had a non-stop day yesterday with SW, hospital visit via the nursing home, and a one-hour drive each way to an evening meeting. Tired today, but I have a long list to deal with:

    - WM x4 including bedlinen (but it's started raining)
    - phonecalls
    - emails
    - more paperwork
    - book concert ticket for DH
    - change a purchase in town (wrong size - too big :D)
    - hospital visiting this evening

    As I walked upstairs after breakfast I noticed how dirty the handrails are. That's something I *must* do in the Big Clean, whenever that happens. It has to be before next Friday....

    Catch up later. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x

    Morning all. I've had a little time to spare before second hosp appt today, so I have pulled out two of my freezers and cleaned behind them. They weren't that bad at all, so I probably won't bother again for at least a year.

    Right, got to go out again soon.

    I hope everyone is having a great day.
    Spend less now, work less later.
